Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome

I appreciate your concern

The throat and chest needs to be examined. If a bacterial infection is suspected then throat swab for rapid strep test and culture sensitivity testing can be taken and antibiotics started empirically.

If no infective cause is there or a viral illness is the likely cause then symptomatic treatment with acetaminophen, cough meds like rhinathiol and steam inhalation can be advised.

There is no specific food that can treat an infection. However, for symptomatic relief, honey could have a soothing effect.


Wishing you best of health

Thanks
